Can I send and receive SMS from my Voipo number to a mobile phone?

Thank you Tim.

I'll call support tomorrow.

Hi Tim,

I just got off the phone with support and they have initiated an internal porting of my number to allow SMS texting.

Great! Glad we were able to get it setup for you.

Thank you again Tim! I am now planning on transferring my home Vonage number to Voipo as well.

I am having this same issue. I ported a number that I've had for 15 years to Voipo this week with the expectation of having text messages forwarded to my new phone. I hope the solution that worked for Ansextra can work for me -- I need help!!! Thanks.

SMS is available in about 95% of the areas we serve. If the option is not showing up in your control panel and your number has already ported, contact support@voipo.com and ask to check SMS availability for your area.

Hello, I'm still looking for help with receiving SMS from my Voipo number (recently ported) to a mobile phone. When will the issues be addressed to provide this capability of 100% of customers? I also need to know if there is a workaround that I could use or what options are available to me at this point. Thank you kindly.
